AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Time Without Clocks is Joan Lindsay’s charming and evocative autobiographical novel. It tells the story of her marriage to Sir Daryl Lindsay, of their life in Melbourne in the twenties and thirties, of their travels in Europe, and above all the gentle world of ‘Mulberry Hill’, a house without clocks.

'Revealed in this delightful reminiscence is Joan Lindsay’s fascination with the ambiguities of time, seen by some as the key to the mysteries of Picnic at Hanging Rock.'
